It's a BAA thing:

If you are travelling from a BAA airport this holiday season please note you can no longer carry Christmas crackers in your hand baggage. If you wish to take Christmas crackers with you please check with your airline before you start your journey. Many airlines do not allow these items onto the aircraft, even in your hold baggage. Other airlines impose a maximum of 12 and they must be in the manufacturer’s original packaging, which must be unopened.
